Speculation on a New NieR Game

Rumors of a new NieR game have been swirling, especially after Producer Yosuke Saito hinted at potential developments during an interview with 4Gamer in December 2024. Saito expressed his enthusiasm for marking the series' 15th anniversary with either a new game or other related projects.

The last major release from the NieR series was NieR Replicant, a remaster-remake of the original NieR game. Since the launch of NieR Automata in 2017, fans have been eagerly awaiting a new mainline installment. While Square Enix has yet to confirm any new projects officially, the anticipation surrounding the 15th Anniversary Livestream has heightened expectations for what might be revealed next in the NieR universe.
